Guillermo del Toro's Cancelled Projects | Cancelled-A-Thon

Happy Halloween!
Today, for a bombastic conclusion to our month of Cancelled-A-Thon, I will be talking about a vast majority (if not all) of Guillermo del Toro's projects that unfortunately never saw the light of day.
Note: I'd also like to state that towards the end, I mention GDT's script of 'The Witches' and I genuinely forgot that the new one that came out on HBO Max was written by him and the director Robert Zemeckis. I thought it was just written by Zemeckis when I posted this. Sorry about that!!

You can easily make a book of all Del Toro's canceled projects, honestly. The man has a weird scheduling issue.

[@TheGeekInformant]

I believe he actually has already, at least kind of. It's called Guillermo del Toro Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions.

4:28 not surprising considering this was in production when Shrek was a hit and made other studios including Disney wanting to make their fairy tale movies to be more like Shrek, I mean hell Tangled was originally going to be like a Shrek like parody before John Lasseter thankfully prevented it.

When you return to cancelled a thon, can you take a look at the unmade "War Eagles"?

[@TheGeekInformant]

This isn't a recurring series. It is a sub-series of my main series of Monster Madness. It is possible that I might continue this into a full series but I am busy with other projects as of right now.

InSane is easily the most interesting of all of Del Toro’s canned projects…outside of ItMoM and Silent Hills, of course. Apparently, it was to be developed by the once-golden AA Developers of the Saints Row, Summoner, Descent, and Red Faction series Fame: Volition. They were working on it immediately after finishing SR The Third, after a chance meeting with one of Volition’s Producers by Del Toro happened at a Comic Con in 2010; the pitch was literally written on a napkin-sized piece of paper and pretty much formed the backbone of the project. According to the Creative Producer of the project, Jacques H., the problems began before THQ started to unravel and mostly came down to logistics. They couldn’t hire enough “high quality people/designers/programmers” fast enough while justifying putting Saints Row 4 (at the time called Saints Row: Prime) on hold. THQ only cancelled the project after the studio refused to move the project to their Montreal studio due to many on staff not being able to make the move while not being able to hire more than they’d have liked to. The saddest part? It would’ve been Silent Hills BEFORE SILENT HILLS! Also, it was planned as a Trilogy.

19:19 I thought it was going to be the sequel to the movie because we were going to get the Leader?

[@TheGeekInformant]

It's possible that things changed over the course of development. But all the articles I could come across, stated that it was a prequel show.

[@srstriker6420]

@@TheGeekInformant well I really don’t like loose ends and speaking of which I read that there was a missed opportunity for the Leader to be in Endgame in CBR.

He's just one of those guys that went off the deep end when a certain someone was in office.

@@TheGeekInformant oh I understand completely. lol yeah, at least he’s still a good actor, I guess. I try to “separate the art from the artist” but some people have made that impossible. (Cough, Brie Larson, cough, David O. Russel)
